PHP Development

Custom PHP development and modernization, from new business applications to rescuing legacy codebases.

PHP runs a large part of the web, and a large part of our work is making PHP applications behave like engineered software: predictable, testable, fast and secure.

Beyond Laravel, we work with custom and legacy PHP codebases. Typical projects: modernizing an application that has accumulated ten years of patches, extracting an API from a monolith, fixing performance problems caused by database design, and taking over codebases after the original developers moved on.

Honest assessments

Not every old application needs a rewrite, and not every rewrite is a good idea. We review the code and the business context first, then recommend the smallest path that solves the actual problem.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you modernize an old PHP application?

Yes. We assess the codebase, define a pragmatic modernization path, often incremental rather than a rewrite, and then execute it while the application keeps running.

Do you work with non-Laravel PHP code?

Yes. Plain PHP, older frameworks and custom codebases. The framework matters less than the quality of the work that follows.

Can you audit our PHP application's security?

Yes. We review authentication, authorization, SQL usage, file handling and dependencies, then deliver a prioritized list of fixes.
